Everyone give Nate a huge hand for 'volunteering' to be next year's Chairman! Way to go Nate! 
On another note - greetings from the land of -1 degrees and -25 wind chill. Three vehicles and I'm high and dry - #1, diesel has turned to gel and won't start, #2, blew the diesel injectors and is being flatbedded to the dealer as I write this, #3, battery is dead in the Merc, and I can't get to it because the trunk's frozen shut.
If this isn't a sign that I should pack it in and move down there with you guys, I don't know what is !!!!!!!!!!!

Bob,
Were they able to figure out what was wrong with your starboard engine?

Blown head gasket. They were able to get it cleaned up, flushed and re started and is now in the hands of Ron Potter in Sarasota. Ron is going to let me know if it is just a matter of replacing the head gasket or if it is time to re build.
We will see.

Knowing our typical project times we will be down for at least 2 months as there were quite few other items on the list that we were hoping to at least get through the summer before tackling. I guess the up side is we are hoping to throw some headers on while she is down if the budget holds John

Sorry to hear about that, guys.
John, how many hours are on your engines? You've got the 502's, right?

We had done the same with our 272 with great results. That is what allowed us to step to the 38. We will just keep stepping up until finally we get to the Nor-Tech
BTW That injector problem you spoke of earlier. that is not on the new CXT is it?

Bob, Hope you get good news on that. But if not, misery loves company. We will be pulling both of ours on Friday. Knowing our typical project times we will be down for at least 2 months as there were quite few other items on the list that we were hoping to at least get through the summer before tackling. I guess the up side is we are hoping to throw some headers on while she is down if the budget holds
